What does a roundup of new tech-lit books have to do with casual Zombie-bashing?

Why not ask Kara Swisher? She seems to be a fan of Anti-Zombie prejudice, dropping little gems like:

It’s funny that they, and also Hoffman, are using the hopelessly analog term “blueprint,” but I like the retro feel.
No surprise, Thiel’s posse is unhappy with the pace of innovation, presumably underwhelmed by “Plants vs. Zombies” compared to the internal combustion engine.

…

In any case, before the zombies arrive to steal them, get your brains ready to think big thoughts.

Yes, once again, Zombies are depicted as penniless, violent, brain-obsessed savages, apropos of nothing. Delightful!

This is the sort of thing that fills my inbox some days. Groan.
